Breitling Question
Discussion
I think the Superocean (like most (all?) Breitlings) is COSC certified so ought to be within the COSC specs which are -4 to +6 secs per day - since its outside that it probably needs regulating (at least).
I think the movement is an ETA 2824 which should have a power reserve of about 40 hours - ie it should continue to run for 40 hours when fully wound and then left.
Overall it sounds like a service is required. Which any competent watchmaker could do for you.

I've had two Superoceans (one left the house with the pikeys) and even if I don't wear it for months as soon as I wear it again it keeps time to within the norm of 6 secs per day and the reserve is enough for several days almost. Even my Navitimer, 12 years old and never a service does the same. I think yours definitely needs attention!
I recently purchased a Superocean Heritage 46. Wore it for two days. Went to Bruges last friday and went to change to french time but the minute hand wouldn't work properly. The crown wouldn't screw back in either! This is a £2k watch (almost). To say I was miffed is a majot understatement so back it went to the shop form whence it was bought and, lo and behold, despite the original six months waiting list, Breitling are getting another one for this Thursday! I was just shocked that this happened at all. Jesus!!!
